I.Am Mcphee I.Am Mcphee Such an eloquent boy, for a Republican. [/politicalstereotyping]
xd Now, I haven't thrown my lot in with either party; I'm just definitely not a Democrat. xp
They're the most conservative party Canada has, but they're mostly moderate, in terms of social issues.Sounds nice. smile Too bad the US isn't very conducive to third parties. sweatdrop
The Liberal Party
The Conservative Party
The NDP (New Democratic Party)
and
The Bloc Quebecois (Quebec seperatist party, you can only vote for them in Quebec but they still get a lot of seats.)

I'm so confused. crying Although, I'm guessing that since it's the "Quebec Seperatist Party", they are for Quebec seperating from the rest of Canadia.

Only Canada would allow a party whose only goal is to secede from the country they partially govern.
lyme: Well, they have a law banning english street signs.

It's against the charter of rights, and they're using the notwithstanding clause to override that.

I.Am hikid102 Mcphee I.Am I'm paraphrasing quite a bit on this, but: A dead beat dad makes payments. A dead beat mom makes a choice.
I don't think I'd wear -that- shirt. I'd be afraid of offending someone. they're killing humans! they should be offended! I'm offended by them! But just because they are offending us doesn't mean we should offend them. Two wrongs don't make a right. But three lefts do. 3nodding But, seriously, I don't wear blatantly political shirts, generally, because I'm a pretty shy and unassuming guy in person. sweatdrop I don't base my opinions of others on their political beliefs, and I don't want them to base their opinions of me on mine. As far as Pro-Life shirts, I would wear one if I liked how it looked, because it's a very important issue to me, but I would still avoid an offensive one, because I want my Pro-Life shirt to get people to ask me about my opinions, not turn away people who are Pro-Choice. I know I'm not trying to say offend people. My point is I'm not going to back down on my beliefs because it might offend people. America has the freedom of beliefs and of speach so I'll take advantage of it and I'm not afraid to let people know where I stand. That's just how I am because I know what I think its right and I wont bargain my beliefs for someones feelings.

I respect you for that, really.
But, like others, I tend to be somewhat shy, and a little timid. I like little things, that express how I feel. For instance, I have a button on my backpack that says "War is expensive, Peace is Priceless".
And also, one of my things about being pro-life is, as against abortion as I am, I can't bring myself to judge another person for the choices that they make, be it murder, rape, or abortion. Calling someone a "dead-beat mom" is JUST that.
That's why I'm against the death penalty, and why I used to be pro-choice.

lymelady neither do I. But I figure that I'd rather not be friends with someone who'd judge me like that. It's like, political racism to say, "I can't be friends with someone who's pro-life." Oh wow, the horror, someone who'd rather women have more options than killing their children to succeed in society. How awful! That's true. But, sadly, it's the way most Pro-Choicers think, especially the ones who don't question their beliefs; Pro-Lifers are horrible people who are just trying to take away all of the rights of women to them. They don't even think about the fact that there might be some other reason for being Pro-Life, Pro-Life has become a form of bigotry in minds of the mindless; Because the media tells them that Pro-Lifers just want to take away their freedoms, Pro-Lifers must hate women. And that shades their view whenever they realize someone is Pro-Life. Especially if it's the first impression, that on your shirt it says, "Hey, I'm Pro-Life!", they go, "Ugh. A Pro-Lifer. They are so... Discriminatory against women." And it's really hard to break people off of their first impressions. And since I'm a guy trying to find a girl, that kinda creates problems. lol Although, honestly, if a girl were to tell me that she was Pro-Choice in such a way that she would have an abortion herself, I would not be able to keep seeing her. I could be friends, just not in a relationship.

Now see, I'd date a guy if he was pro-choice or not. As long as I liked him.
However, there's no risk in my relationship of the other person killing my child.
So there's less at stake.
Whew. Suddenly I'm much happier that I'm gay.

I had a dream once that I aborted Andy's baby. I can't tell what's more disturbing...that in my dream he'd gotten me pregnant, or that I'd had an abortion.

Pro-life lovers.
As long as you don't have any abortions, Miss Kate, you harlot.
*gossipgossip*
Although, you apparently have a thing for foreign guys, so... *shrug*
Unless texans count as foreign.
Cause they do to me.
But I'm sure my Nova Scotian ways would count as foreign to you too.
Although I don't know if I'm officially Nova Scotian, because I've only been here comin' on two years.
Wow, this post is nothing but spam.
Good example to set. gonk

xd I do believe I had the biggest crush on Andy at one point. But only because he's a foreigner.
Truth be told, I can't find many pro-life guys. I don't mind dating someone who's pro-choice, but I do mind dating someone who'd insist I get an abortion if I ever got pregnant.

Most of them are so liberal, just by proxy, they don't even want to question stuff like abortion, just because they want to be progressive.
random note: My Cousin has a boyfriend (AKA prospective husband) who lives in Katie, Texas.
So, that's, like... 2 real life links to 2 lovely people.
